The Electoral College blues: What we get after the red states bankrupt America

Why are the blue states paying for the red states' crazy spending sprees?

Like uncontrolled pre-teens at a shopping mall, red states with credit cards in hand are running up so much debt on our blue state Mastercard that we both are going under.

Who gave the red states OUR credit card? The Electoral College did it. That's identity theft!

Isn't it about time that the Electoral College got sent back to school to take a civics lesson in "Proportional Representation".

Without the blue states, the red states' bank account would be a joke. Yet it is the teenybopper red states and their bumbling, greedy, blood-thirsty leaders that are dragging us parent blue states around by the ear.

Another sad but true story: The more that blood-thirsty red state leaders orchestrate the massacre of Middle Eastern women and children, the more blue states become endangered. Blue states are fully aware that red state politicians can yell, "Na na ne na ne na" from behind their mother's skirts all they want but it was the Twin Towers, not the Alamo, that got bombed.

Also from Mike: [Forget about Canada or New Zealand! Move to a red state! Berkeley already has its priorities straight. The red states NEED us!] Move to a soft Red state and change the dynamics of ALL elections in that state as well as the results of future national elections...
